r The ~ | Backseat Driver •niniiiiiiinnmnmitiitimiiiiinmimninfiiimmiiiimimiiimimnmimiimiiiimiiii! By MARTHA STEWART I am told (by the Innocent vic tim himself) that a few nights ago people living along Alder street between the Sigma Chi house and the Delta Gamma man sion were shocked to see a proces sion of shadowy figures moving through the darkness hearing an ungainly, squirming mass of some thing from which issued strange, tortured sounds which grew in volume as the group approached the white-pillared home of the D.G.s. r At first glance it looked like a lynching. As a matter of fact it was something much more serious (at least so my informer declares). The mysterious party was made up of a few of the Sigma Chi boys observing a time-honored cus tom and delivering suffering Bro ther Ed Averill (clad in very little more than a mattress) to the charming young lady on whom he had just bestowed his pin. The experience was very trying, Brother Eddie tells me. After be ing pitched' bodily into the Delta Gamma midst he was horrified to see the young ladies gather around in most unmaidenly glee, appar ently bent on making hi3 visit ex tremely uncomfortable. The whole experience was something of a nightmare to him, it seems, but he remembers one thing vividly. “While one of the gals worked with a razor blade around my neck j trying to cut the ropes,” Eddie disclosed mournfully, “another one sat on my mattress and tickled my hare feet.” Now I ask you, is that hospital- j ity? To my ears come talcs of a new i hair-dress both strange and won derful that is descending upon the campus, and which harks back to the days of powdered wigs. It seems that young ladies (with ! sufficient daring and sufficient lack of inhibition) cover their locks with a laquer substance which is then sprayed lavishly with tiny flakes of silver snow. The ef fect, I am told, is very glamorous and reminds one of a Christmas tree or a carol. Sometimes the genius of my sex fills we with awe and wonder. I wonder what we'll think up next! Skiing parties from the campus ^ this year are taking with them, in addition to long flannel underwear, high topped boots and skiis, bath ing suits.

The place was the new li brary. The trembling reporter, having trusted fate for her fall term grades, now had had it de cided for her that the fourth week of winter term was as good a time as any to begin studying. She cautiously slipped from the hall into the lobby of the reserve library. Nothing happened, al though the loud clatter of voices had startled her a little at first She gazed, wide-eyed around her. Why—practically everybody was here! Important people, like house presidents, and even athletes were standing around waiting for books. In the coi'ner two Alpha Phi pledges were bubbling exuberantly about a certain popular Phi Dell who had just smiled at them. A Beta graciously turned on the wa ter fountain in order that a me dium-sized black and white speck led dog might quench his thirst Three Delta Gammas were asking a, studious looking Phi Sig what "tomorrow's assignment in Comp' might be. A Theta Chi secured a book on state government and slipped through the door into the oblivion that is the study room. Coeds Head “Crusoe” The reporter, much more self assured, now that she saw that people do study began to push her way to the desk in quest of a copy of "Robinson Crusoe,” a somewhat dubious necessity for Lit. As she received it she was ac costed from behind and turned, to see the smiling countenance of her "man of the hour." “Hi, queen. How's chances chucking that trash and whipping down to the Side for a coke?” Forsakes Book for Coke The reporter, without an inwart murmur placed her book in th< slot, her arm through his, ant turned toward the door. “Winderful. I didn’t, ejcactlj "Wonderful. I didn't exactly —you know what? I think I like studying in the reserve libc. Yot sec so many people you know am kinda keep up on current affairs And after all—that's more impor tant than studying ancient histor; and stuff like that!” As they went out the door th hands of the clock stood at 8; 1C Oh well—studying s hard on th . eyes, anyway. Sigma Kappas Plan Regional Convention The local chapter of Sigma Kap pa has announced plans for an open house the evening of Friday, February 18, to which members of campus living organizations will be welcomed. The event is scheduled in honoi of delegates to the sorority's north west regional convention which is I to be held here during that week end, and to which members from Oregon State, Washington, Wash ington State, and Montana chap ters are expected. Further arrangements for the convention include a luncheon Feb ruary 19, an initiation and a for mal banquet the same evening at the Eugene hotel. Vera Hughes McCord, graduate of '30, is field superintendent for the Washington state department of social security at Spokane. Car washing at i*onicroy’s Asso ciated.-—adv. English Castle furniture Seen In Alumni Hall tiiiiiniiiilffiwinnni'iniM«intmnr^«Tmiinniiiiimwnmnmniintiiiwiiiwuiiiiiinn By JEAN GULOVSON Alumni hall, with its charming, rich simplicity, was planned by Mrs. Irene Gerlinger to represent the “great” room of an English baronial castle. Mrs. Gerlinger, who was at that time a member of the board of regents, spent two years traveling at her own expense in the United States to investigate other colleges and universities to obtain ideas for Alumni hall. Furnishings From Scotland Most of the furnishings, includ ing a hand-carved church pew from Scotland, were obtained from an tique shops in British Columbia. The paneling is done in wood, mak ing the acoustics as good as any other room on the campus. The fireplaces at either end of the room are hand carved, one having a Latin proverb meaning "Happi ness dwelleth here”; the other is the golden rule in Gaelic. The mu rals above each fireplace were painted by Alfred Schroff, former professor at the University, now retired and living in Eugene. The floor lamps, especially made to represent torches, and the an tique tea set in an old-fashioned cabinet are reminiscent of medi eval mansions. "The tea set, by the way, is very old and there is not a single crack or blemish in any of the 24 cups and saucers and six plates,” proudly explained Mrs. Edith Seifert, the charming hostess of Gerlinger, who delights in serving afternoon tea to those students who may be studying in the hall between 3 and 5 p.m. Outsiders Welcomed Although the room, in the past, has been used by townspeople as well as faculty and student groups, I an effort is being made to reserve it more and more for University use because of the increase in en rollment and faculty. It is used for everything from initiations and formal dances to recreation and | studying. Now it is to have a new | use. Everyone connected with the ' University as students, alumni, or I faculty members, may have wed dings in the hall. “Nothing short of banquets stops us, and some times we even have them on the [ sun porch,” beamed Mrs. Siefert, explaining the kitchen facilities on the first two floors and their con nection with the third floor by the dumb waiter. Piano Popular The baby grand piano may not carry out the note of a baronial castle, but it proves very popular among those people who have no other facilities on the campus for musical expression. "It may be used by anyone for playing, but not for practicing,” said Mrs. Sie fert, "because exercises are very trying to the nerves of the atten dants and also other people who may be in the room.” The independent students, with a nucleus of Yeomen and Orides, have the use of the building on Monday evenings. This arrange ment was made to give unaffiilated students a place for headquarters. Open hours for the building are 8-12 a.m.; 1:15-6 p.m.; and 7:15 10 p.m. Marjorie Zane, ex-’39, is attend ing the Berte school of fashion in Philadelphia. Taking work for his master’s degree on the side, Willard Mc Clure, graduate student from ’35 '37, is teaching English at Edison boys’ high school in Portland. Jane Myers, ’36, is in Portland working for her master’s degree in biochemistry at the University oi Oregon medical school.
